Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Handles reasonably well, but feels as if it's wallowing around sharp corners

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Need to keep the revs up & use the gears a lot to get the best out of it

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Only let down once by a faulty temperature sensor, causing rough running and engine to cut out

    Seems to be liked by young & old, male & female

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Problem with a low seat front edge, causing legs to ache on long journeys. Height adjustment only pivots the seat at the front, making no difference.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Had problems with central locking meaning difficulty in locking car, as well as an alarm that sounds for no apparent reason

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Big main dealers find (& treat) private motorists an inconvenience. Smaller family owned franchises work harder at keeping your business. This isn't unique to Peugeot, as I found the same when I owned a Vauxhall
